The actors made this entire experience so amazing for me and my partner! They were very committed to their roles, witty, and all around pleasant. The tour also included very cool screen technology. Recommending it to all my friends and family, thank you!

Everyone should book the Go City All Inclusive Pass through Headout. I bought the pass from Headout and got 10% discount. Also the instructions were clear and ticket was digital. Just go for Headout to book for the pass!

This is a great way to explore Boston and get a historical narrative. However, I think the trolleys get too many people and then when you're trying to actually hop-on and hop-off, it turns into a waiting game, which in turn you don't want to get off the trolley anymore because you're not sure when you might get back on. Otherwise, it is a great way to get to some of the farther places that may take too long to walk to.

All the bus drivers were very knowledgeable and entertaining. The buses came frequently at each stop. We learned a lot about the city and had a great time. Especially nice to use when it is raining outside.
